taylor mustrang.jpgI call dibs on Jim Taylor's Falcon that raced in '66 with a 289. Legend has it he drove it cross country as a licensed vehicle to every Trans Am race he entered, with his tools, spare tires, and wheels stuffed inside and in the trunk; once all the way from OK City to Maryland for a race. It had a stock Falcon Futura bucket seat with seat emblem, and a full stock rear seat. I saw it at a Trans Am race...hmmm 52? years ago at Green Valley Raceway in north Texas.
He sold it in 1990 for $10, much less than what we will spend on our scale entries, then lanquished for a while, until found, and restored for historic racing by a premier historic Trans Am racing restoration shop. Jim also raced 850 Minis in SCCA before this.
